(4)
Remove

(5) Inspect internal wiring in compressor
junction
box
to
ensure no wires are broken or grounded.
(6) Use a continuity tester or multimeter set on lowest OHMS
scale to check for continuity between pins G and F in connector
J10.
If there is no continuity between these pins, heater or
thermostatic switch is bad and should be replaced. Continue
testing to isolate defective component.
(7) In the compressor junction box disconnect thermostat
switch lead from crankcase heater lead.
Check continuity between
pin G and thermostat switch lead.
If continuity is not indicated
switch is defective.
(8) Check continuity at heater
lead and pin F. If continuity
is
not indicated, heater is defective
and should be replaced.
(9) Check continuity between pins D and E, if there is no
continuity between these pins and the compressor has had time to
cool down, the compressor motor internal overload switch (S8) is
bad and compressor must be replaced.
